Real World Performance and Day to Day Use
In everyday use, the Ninja DZ400UKSTGD is designed to make family cooking easier by letting you prepare two foods in two different ways at the same time. Each drawer can use its own function, time and temperature, which helps solve the common problem of one part of the meal being ready too early. The extra large 9.5L capacity gives practical space, with each drawer able to fit up to 1.4kg of fries or a 2kg chicken.
The 6 cooking functions are Max Crisp, Air Fry, Roast, Bake, Reheat and Dehydrate, giving enough flexibility for frozen foods, leftovers, roasted meals, baked dishes and lighter air fried favourites. The Air Fry function is described as using up to 75 percent less fat compared with deep fried hand cut French fries. It can also cook up to 75 percent faster than fan ovens in the stated test against fish fingers and sausages, including preheat.
Choose this if you want a large dual zone air fryer for family meals, separate cooking control and easier clean up.
Skip this if you only need a compact air fryer for occasional snacks or small portions.
